Chapter 251: Separation

Han Li was willing to stay away from Dong Xuan'er, and Senior Martial Brother Feng and Yan Yu were naturally happy to see it!

So not only did they not stop him, but Yan Yu also very enthusiastically gave him a jade slip. It was the terrain map of Yan Ling Castle, which could save Han Li some time and go straight to the destination, instead of bumping around everywhere like a headless fly.

And Dong Xuan'er herself, although surprised that Han Li suddenly let go and stopped restraining her! But being able to gain freedom and swim like a fish in water among many male cultivators naturally made her overjoyed. Of course, she still looked at Han Li with astonished eyes several times, unable to figure out the intention of his move.

"Intention? Hmph, just don't want to carry a burden, and it's so comfortable to act alone!" Han Li walked on the bluestone road of Yan Ling Castle, with his hands behind his back, thinking very leisurely, and looking at the shops on both sides from time to time.

These were all selling talismans, refining and alchemy raw materials, and there were also one or two selling low-tier magic tools, but the shopkeepers were mostly mortals without magic power.

This was not strange, the area of the entire Yan Ling Castle was very large, and the population living in it was as many as more than 100,000. But only a very small number had spiritual roots and could practice magic, and most were ordinary mortals.

These mortals who should have lived in the secular world, some had no spiritual roots but their bloodlines still came from the Yan family, and others were relatives of Yan family disciples. After all, if they only intermarried between Yan family relatives, this was very inappropriate, and absorbing some new blood could allow the Yan family to continue to grow.

Of course, for the sake of secrecy, these mortals who entered the castle could never walk out of the city again, and could only live and die in this city. Although they were worry-free from then on, it was still an extremely sad thing.

Those newcomers who moved in from the outside were fine, at least they had seen the colorful world outside, but those who were born in the castle since childhood but had no spiritual roots didn't even have the chance to take a look at the outside world.

However, when mortals entered the castle, none of them were forced! They were all at the end of their rope, or had received great kindness from the Yan family, and were willing to do so. Plus, Yan Ling Castle was heavily guarded, covered by formations, and mortals who left the castle privately would be killed immediately upon discovery. So far, no mortal had successfully escaped from this place.

These pieces of information, of course, were not guessed by Han Li, but some small information attached to the map jade slip. Therefore, Han Li also had a general impression of Yan Ling Castle in his mind.

And he was now heading to a teahouse in the castle. Because according to Han Li's understanding, cultivators mostly loved good tea, and teahouses were almost places that all cultivators must go to. Han Li felt that he might be able to meet other cultivators there and join some small groups, which was a very rare exchange opportunity. After all, closing the door and building a car was still not advisable!

At the end of this stone street, at a fork in the road, he should be able to see the teahouse's signboard, Han Li thought so, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

But a few fierce arguments between a man and a woman suddenly came from a shop on the side, followed by a man's roar, and a woman dressed as a young woman walked out angrily, rushed straight onto the stone street, and happened to bump into Han Li, who felt slightly surprised.

This young woman's appearance seemed very beautiful, so because of the common problem of men, Han Li glanced at her casually, but after Han Li saw the young woman's appearance clearly, his figure suddenly froze, and he was stunned.

Seeing Han Li staring at her so unscrupulously, the young woman was extremely angry!

But she had also lived in the castle for a long time, so although she had no magic power, she still saw Han Li's cultivator status from his clothes at a glance. Although she didn't pay attention to Han Li's appearance because of shame and anger, only feeling that he was somewhat familiar, she still endured her anger and said stiffly with her head slightly lowered:

"Cultivator, can you let this little woman pass? I am a married woman! You staring at a mortal little woman like this, aren't you afraid of losing your decorum?"

After these words were said, the young woman didn't have any worries, because Yan Ling Castle was heavily guarded, strictly forbidding cultivators from disturbing the lives of ordinary people, and those who violated the order would be punished extremely severely! Of course, ordinary people also had to maintain absolute respect for cultivators, and if there was any neglect, they could be dealt with freely by the cultivators.

And now it was on the street where everyone was watching, so she wasn't afraid that the other party would have any misconduct.

But the young woman lowered her head for a long time, and didn't see the cultivator in front of her have any actions. He neither had the intention to retreat, nor did he open his mouth to reprimand her. This made her somewhat surprised, and she couldn't help but want to raise her head and look over.

As a result, a face that was smiling but not smiling, with an impulse to punch, appeared in front of her eyes. The familiarity of this face immediately brought the young woman to the night on the small path in the backyard ten years ago, a stingy senior brother, and a clever and strange young girl, arguing with each other, all vividly in her mind!

"Senior Martial Brother?"

"Junior Martial Sister!"

The young woman finally recognized this face that hadn't changed at all, and after the other party called him Senior Martial Brother, Han Li also confirmed that this beautiful young woman was actually the clever and strange little girl from many years ago—Mo Cairuan, the youngest daughter of Doctor Mo, the little junior sister he had personally called!

"Are you really Senior Martial Brother Han Li?" Mo Cairuan was shocked, and then asked with mixed feelings, but her face was still in disbelief.

"Are the Fragrant Fragrance Pills I gave you still easy to use?" Han Li suddenly said softly.

"Senior... Senior Martial Brother, it's really you!" After Mo Cairuan heard Han Li say the name of the gift he gave her that day, she had no more doubts. But her eyes suddenly turned red, and she began to sob, as if she had suffered great grievances.

Han Li was dumbfounded! After all, they were on the stone street, and there were some passersby and a few cultivators around. With such a beautiful young woman crying in front of him, what kind of guesses would there be!

Thinking of this, Han Li scratched his head and bit the bullet, saying to Mo Cairuan:

"Junior Martial Sister, should we change to a place to talk in detail! This doesn't seem to be a place for talking."

"Hmm!... I listen to Senior Martial Brother." Mo Cairuan paused her crying after hearing this and said very obediently.

The other party's performance surprised Han Li! After all, Mo Cairuan in his impression was a little demon-like girl, suddenly being so gentle and obedient, which really made him somewhat unaccustomed. But where is it quieter? Han Li looked at the surroundings of the street and thought somewhat depressed.

"Go to my house! My mother is also there." Mo Cairuan opened her mouth and said after her emotions calmed down.

"Is the Fourth Master's wife also in Yan Ling Castle?

Han Li was surprised!

It seemed that the Mo Mansion had really had a big accident, otherwise Yan, who was the brain of the Mo Mansion, wouldn't have easily drifted to this place.

"Yes, Senior Martial Brother! My mother is sick, and it's very serious! You must save her!" Mo Cairuan's eyes flashed with tears, and she begged bitterly.

"I'll take a look!"

Han Li couldn't stand Mo Cairuan's resentful gaze, sighed, and reached out to hold the pulse of Yan's wrist. But after a while, he put it down calmly and said:

"It's nothing, it's just that the old injuries from those years have recurred, plus she hasn't rested well in these years, and has been too worried and tired!"

"Is it easy to cure?" Mo Cairuan asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, if it were ten years ago, I would really be somewhat helpless about these old injuries! But now it's just a small matter!" Han Li said comfortingly, then took out a needle box from his storage bag and performed a set of acupuncture techniques on Yan. This made Yan immediately stop coughing!

"Take one pill every day from now on, and in ten days or so, it will be completely cured!" Han Li took out another small bottle and handed it to Yan, saying confidently.

Yan felt that she was comfortable all over, and the illness that had been with her for many years was really gone. At this time, she felt as if she had rejuvenated, looking a few years younger. Now after taking the bottle, she felt even more excited, not knowing what to say?

"Han Li..." But Yan's words of gratitude only started, and were interrupted by Han Li.

"Can you tell me what happened back then, and how you came to Yan Ling Castle?" Han Li still wanted to figure this out.

Yan heard this, and a look of grief appeared on her face, slowly telling the story of those years!

It turned out that after Han Li replaced the Mo Mansion and removed Master Ouyang Master Ouyang Feitian of the Dominating Villa, it did indeed allow the Jingjiao Association, which had been prepared early, to pick up a big bargain, occupying most of the territory and benefits. But the reaction of the Five-Color Sect, another hegemon in Lan Prefecture, was not slow, and they swallowed the remaining small half of the benefits. In this way, Lan Prefecture formed a situation where two heroes stood side by side!

But since the balance of the three countries had been broken, naturally one mountain could not accommodate two tigers!

As a result, the Jingjiao Association led by the Mo Mansion and the Five-Color Sect fought, and only then did they realize that they had truly done one thing wrong! They shouldn't have let Master Ouyang Master Ouyang Feitian die just like that! The strength of the Five-Color Sect was far beyond the power displayed on the surface, and they defeated the Jingjiao Association in one battle.

Subsequently, the Jingjiao Association was uprooted, and the Mo Mansion also suffered a blockade by a large number of experts from the other side. Helplessly, the women had to break out and flee for their lives. As a result, the Second Wife Li and the Fifth Wife Wang died in the breakout, and the others fled separately after rushing out of the encirclement.

Yan took Mo Cairuan and was chased and killed all the way. Just as the mother and daughter were about to lose their lives, a middle-aged man who called himself Yan Zhu saved Yan, and after obtaining the consent of the mother and daughter, took them into Yan Ling Castle and became mortals who moved to Yan family Castle.

Yan Zhu was just a low-tier disciple of the Qi Refining stage in Yan Ling Castle, with limited ability, but he was very good to Yan and her daughter.

To repay the kindness of saving her life, Yan simply remarried to this person a year later. And because Mo Cairuan became more and more beautiful, to avoid trouble, Yan Zhu simply announced to the outside world that Mo Cairuan was a widow who was ominous, and had been married outside long ago, and had died of her husband before entering the castle. In this way, when Mo Cairuan had a sweetheart, she would really get married, and then give her a name.

Just like this, Yan and her daughter really lived two years of stable life in the castle, but unfortunately, Yan Zhu had an accident while performing a family mission and died outside. This made Yan and her daughter dependent on each other again. Leaving the castle was impossible, so they had to continue to depend on each other in Yan Ling Castle, and used the pension spirit stones to set up this small shop, which had been operating bleakly.

If this continued, although the shop's income was not much, it was enough for Yan to see a doctor and buy medicine to suppress the injury. But some time ago, the wholesale shop that had been supplying low-level talismans to their house suddenly stopped supplying them, making Yan's small shop fall into a crisis of bankruptcy.

Yan was a person of such status, and immediately saw the problem. After a little analysis, she found the person who was making trouble behind the scenes.

It turned out to be a cultivator living nearby, who took a fancy to Mo Cairuan, who often passed by his door, and regardless of Mo Cairuan's reputation of being a widow, proposed to take Mo Cairuan as a concubine. Yan naturally wouldn't agree, which made this cultivator angry and leave.

Thus, the person making trouble behind the scenes naturally came out!

And when Han Li met Mo Cairuan on the street today, it happened to be when Mo Cairuan was looking for a supplier and had a big argument with him.

Yan told the story in detail, and Mo Cairuan added a few words from time to time. Han Li had already understood the origin of the matter! However, when hearing that Mo Cairuan was forced to be a concubine, he couldn't help but laugh lightly.
